The coal industry’s efforts to export huge amounts of taxpayer-owned coal from Montana and Wyoming to Asia has generated unprecedented opposition in the Pacific Northwest - tens of thousands of people have rallied, attended public hearings, and called on their elected officials to oppose coal export terminals that would disrupt and pollute communities and pose one of the biggest threats to the climate of any fossil fuel project in the world.

There’s a new front line in the battle to prevent catastrophic climate change.

Companies like Arch, Ambre, and Peabody want to ship the coal buried under the United States to Asia, releasing disastrous amounts of carbon pollution, just to line their own pockets. This expansion in US coal exports could release more carbon pollution than any other new fossil fuel project in the United States, according to a new report Greenpeace released today.

It’s
going to be some hot business this summer, and we ain’t talkin about

rebellious spirit sweeping the U.S.A. as people are fighting back
against the fossil fuel industry from coast to coast.

don't tell you in the church. When I was your age they would say we can
become cops, or criminals. Today, what I'm saying to you is this: when
you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?”
